  • The Australian Economy Is in Recession, And It's Getting Worse [View article]
    "Clearly, this is not the time (as if there is ever one) to start arbitrarily raising labour costs. But this is precisely what the Labor Government's Fair Work Bill will do, though I myself can seeing nothing fair in pricing people out of work."

    Curiously, it was a similar bill to this that UCLA economists said caused the Great Depression in USA to be lengthened during FDR's tenure. It was a bill that artificially raised prices and wages and in the process created structural unemployment. Europe has been plagued by that as well.

    It's odd that Labor wants bills that create unemployment!

  • The Australian Economy Is in Recession, And It's Getting Worse [View article]
    "That our economic commentariat is still wondering whether Australia will "go into recession" is proof positive just how clueless they are. The recession is here and it's going to get worse."

    I conclude from this, without knowing anything else, that you must have a labor (ie left/liberal/socialist... Govt. It's quite obvious that if a conservative were running the Govt, the media elites would, like in USA, have declared it the greatest depression since the dawn of man already and said it started a year ago or sooner.
